I disagree that fictional evidence is a good source of information on a controversial topic. Yes, psychology is always a controversial topic and fiction is actually a good source of information about it. But fiction is generally more reliable on topics it is not explicitly addressing.
Note that Italy is the country in which the Freemasons really did have a plan to take control over the press and then the government.* The country whose future prime minister claimed to have learned from a Ouija board the location of the kidnapped former PM. The publication of the book is closer in time to these events than to current day.
* Large groups of Italians can’t keep secrets for decades, but secrecy turned out not to be necessary.
